The M.Ed. in Mathematics, 5-8 program (Inclusive Education M.Ed. with a specialization in Mathematics, 5-8) is a 30-to-36-credit degree that prepares teachers to be leaders and critical thinkers. Schools today are complex and diverse communities - reflecting a landscape rich with individual differences. Teachers in our program are prepared using a unique combination of theoretical and practical experiences. This approach ensures their ability to create and lead equitable spaces where difference is valued while at the same time preparing them for the realities and challenges of the classroom and the profession.
In this program, students will:
- develop an understanding of how adolescent students learn math and how to motivate and support them during a critical academic and developmental phase
- practice high-leverage routines, design problem-based learning experiences and use authentic assessment to analyze student progress to be fully prepared for today’s diverse middle school classrooms
- develop specific math content knowledge and pedagogical skills to teach adolescent learners
All students take five core inclusive education courses as well as the coursework for their licensure. For the mathematics, 5-8 licensure, courses prepare educators to create and lead an inclusive classroom for grades 5-8 mathematics. This program includes a mix of in-person and online courses.
Program Prerequisite: A child development course or equivalent completed with a grade of B or better.
